It was reported just this week, via the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, that The Revival is expected to be done with the company now. It had been reported for a while that Dawson's WWE contract will expire in early April, while Dash's deal had time added to it to make up for when he was out with injuries. Now it's said that Dash's WWE contract won't expire until mid-June of this year. The Revival may end up missing WrestleMania 36 this year after originally being expected for a multi-team match with SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Miz and John Morrison defending, but that match may not happen due to creative changes to the WrestleMania card. There has been talk of The Revival leaving WWE for more than a year now, due to how unhappy they have been with the way they were used. The two sides had been in contract negotiations at various points, but it was reported that The Revival turned down multiple offers as they just wanted to leave.
On a related note, Dash responded to a tweet on Friday night from WWE 24/7 Champion Riddick Moss, and apparently took a shot at WWE for the copyright back & forth.
Moss wrote, "It's cool to see Smackdown emanating from the Riddick Moss Performance Center, where I've destroyed every athletic record possible and forced them to rename it. Well I made that suggestion before I left, I'm not sure if they went forward with it."
"Probably couldn't get it copyrighted," Dash responded.
Dash wasn't done with after tweet. He then responded to comments from Jack Gallagher after this week's WWE 205 Live episode from the WWE Performance Center, which just featured one match – the 10-Man Elimination Match with 205 Live Originals vs. NXT Cruiserweights.
That 205 Live match saw Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Kushida, Tyler Breeze, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch defeat Gallagher, The Brian Kendrick, Ariya Daivari, Mike Kanellis and Captain Tony Nese, with The Singh Brothers.
Gallagher responded to a GIF of Swerve and Kushida performing a double team, and wrote, "They had five seconds. They took the piss."
Dash responded, "Everyone does now. Sad, really. Sorry you had to go through that."
